my first words to her

First off, here's one of my favorite maternity pics of Lindsay, Baby, and me. Carissa took them and you should call her too.

I wrote a letter to our unborn daughter last night. Lindsay is working up the courage to do it this week too. Here's a handful of lines I wanted to share...---

Hopefully we do a good job raising you. I guess above all we want you to know that no matter what you do, you wont be able to make us love you any less. We are already so proud of you, just by being here, by being ours. Before you even take your first step _____, I believe in you, and I cant wait to see you fly. Whatever that might mean for you - music, math, or macramé. Seriously, even macramé.

Little Mystery-- I like that name. Kevin keeps leaning toward obscure OT biblical names but I am voting for Little Mystery for the next of the Barnes brood. Besides it sounds so Hollywood...like he or she will grow up and play with Apple and Inspector...

Seriously, can you come over and write CB's birthday letter each for me. They would sound better if you wrote them.
